I emailed that contact on the page, asking about the "Chosen." Do you guys think there is more to this or was it just to find the email?

Also, Unton in the source is the name of the city, he emailed clockwork saying ""Tell all you know of what is happening in Unton, Indiana."

I think it was just to find the email. I see now how they were hinting us to that, but it still was a bit of a toughy.

Edit : Oh man. Colby's weemee is way over the top.

Assumptions I'm working off of right now.

1. We are aware that Michael and Gabriel are having trust issues. None of us know how these two would typically behave so we have no point of reference to judge them by. If Michael had his way, he would just tell us. This seems to be the simple and honest thing to do. On the other hand, Gabriel's behavior differs dramatically. He seems to be enticing and baiting us. Those are two of the three ingredients used in making a TRAP. The third is whatever thing actually snares us (i.e. ropes, jaws, cages, or swirling blades). This usually involves pain to ourselves or others.

2. We know that Chet's sister/Gabriel's mom is dying in the hospital. She was pushed fell and was hurt. All she said was "He did it." If some of the characters could be "possessed", it could be anyone. I'm leaning towards it being Gabriel. He could be "compromised". She knows him and can sense...something. Before she could tell anyone...

3. Colby's dreams are coming from somewhere or someone. They are trying to, albiet indirectly, tell him something. They have, oddly enough, blatantly told him that he is missing something (the hints to PoS?). The visual style of his dreams match that of the Prophecy of Stars page. The poetic style of which seems to come across as both ancient and knowledgable. It seems very likely that the dreams and PoS site are coming from the same source.

4. Christine/Colby's shared dreams show Gabriel and Chet in the center of a web. They have interpretted that as the "events that are occuring". A web, however, is also a trap with the center reserved for the predator.

5. Colby and Christine have a secret. They won't share it even if it means that we don't offer up Gabriel's contact info. They are going to go to Indiana so will come into contact with him eventually. Are we helping or hurting the story by doing this? Instead of meeting at a predetermined safe location, they must now hunt for Gabriel.

6. Agent Darkness seems out of place or more to the point- Corny. He could be someone who aspires to be one of the Lone Gunmen from the X-Files. One of the emails from him actually says "Agents of Darkness". Maybe he's not so aLone. Whether this character is what he claims or not will still, like ALL of the of characters of this ARG, have to be seen. I actually believe, however, that he's one of the established characters.

7. Gabriel has known of Colby for awhile and hasn't tried to contact him. Maybe he doesn't want Colby around for a very particular reason. If so, he could be posing as someone who "knows" the Truth and tries to convince Colby to stay out of it.

The world will be better off? That would mean that Colby's actions in Indiana have the potential to effect The World.
Let those who need to, handle this. Sounds like someone else wants a different outcome and they want to be the one to effect The World.

8. Gabriel's actions speak of a young man who is trying to control a situation and it's information from spreading as well as anyone he comes into contact with.

Conclusion: Right now, even if it seems too obvious, I think that Colby's our man. We should be helping him while being suspicious of the others.

I partially agree - but I'm not totally sure we should lose Gabriel/Michael's trust yet. While they might be becoming the antagonists/don't know who they actually are, I still think there's a surprise or two left for them.

I don't know if we're considering this so obvious its not worth mentioning or what : there is no Unton, Indiana. How exactly is Colby going to drive out to a place that doesn't exist? I suppose that it might just exist in game, but at that point, why tell us the name? Up until yesterday "a small town in Indiana" was fine. Then not only is it mentioned by Colby, but its hidden in the source code of the Agent's page.

You know, I have no idea why I never thought of that. Very Happy

You're right, Unton isn't a real town - the only Unton I know if is this guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Unton

i think it might be to make our search for unton on the web easier? and also if they had named a real town, it might really start a panic by people that dont know any better? just a few thoughts...

and i also agree with agribudhist. It seems as though Gabriel is compromised. I dont think we should let him know that we think this though. PLEASE if anyone talks to gabriel, act as if nothing is wrong and we believe him 100%. Its just too coincidental that michael says gabriel is acting weird and SUDDENLY gabriels mother falls down stairs saying "he did it". We need to find Michael. He is our key to the truth about Unton. The agent and gabriel both look to have their own agendas. Michael is the only one who seems genuine.

As for Colby, I definitely agree that he is our man. He is likable and seems trustworthy. He has no reason to have his own agenda and that is comforting in a story where trustworthy people are few and far between. WE are the ones who have to help Colby. His innocent and naive nature makes him vulnerable to certain predators in this story. He said he wants to drive to Indiana. I WISH we could get a hold of michael and see what he knows. This would help Colby immensely. I dont think Colbv should go there alone, but I also dont have any idea as to who he could trust to help him (besides Michael).

As far as colbys/christines dreams go, what force in our world could possibly "put" dreams into someones head? The answer is obviously none. This could mean the ALIENS themselves are putting these dreams there. If so, with what intention? to tip us off that they are here on earth? or for some other reason. I mean, is it possible that these aliens feel as if THEY are the ones in danger and need help?

My Guess #1: This may seem baseless and far fetched but I am starting to believe that there COULD possibly be two different types of aliens here. One good (putting the dreams in colbys head), and one BAD ("possessing people", causing dissappearances, hospitalizng people). THese good aliens are fearful of the bad ones and need help.

OR

My Guess #2: The aliens could possibly be fearful of the Agents of Darkness. In the agent's paranoia, they started dragging people off in the night claiming that they were "possessed" (similar to a witch hunt). This could mean that the agent: darkness is the one who pushed gabriels mother down the stairs. This guess seems to have a few more loose ends that might need to be tied up....


any ideas/comments on these guesses people? let me know...

One thing I would correct our angry Buddist friend on is doubting about getting Gabriel and Colby in direct contact. You forget that Gabriel knew of Colby before we told either of each other's existance. This to me actually supports the theory that they're laying a trap out in Indiana. If Gabriel needed help, he would have asked for it. When you combine that with his mom's fall and Chet's sudden disappearance/reappearance, it seems something is rotten in Unton. I'm thinking that Chet dropping off the radar for a few days then reappearing might be a sign he's been "converted".
